Oh my, what a Fringe we’ve had with 🍎Apples in Winter🍎!

Huge thanks to our fantastic audiences (and their wonderful on-line reviews), to 13 professional critics, to all at Paradise Green and Edinburgh Festival Fringe, to our wonderful Crowdfunder donors, and for everyone’s support in ways both large and small, all of which made this venture not only possible but a truly astonishing experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seven 5-star, a 4.5, and three 4-star reviews

🎟 Almost 700 people (691 to be exact) chose to see Apples in Winter at 10:30 in the morning - quite the way to start the day!

6 SOLD OUT performances

Especial thanks to Jennifer Fawcett_Author; Claire Parker; Suzanne Parke; Elisabeth Tooms; Philip Parker; Jack Lynch; Digna Nelson; Kate Napier and Peter Neary-Chaplin.

It’s over and out from the LynchPin Team for a bit while we take a break. Thank you all for an incredible month in Edinburgh, the culmination of ten months of Fringe prep and seven years of rehearsing, performing and living with the stunning Apples in Winter 🙏

A beautiful 🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭 review by Under the Stars - Entertainment Reviews by Girloutside.

“Beautifully written, superbly acted and quietly devastating. An exceptional piece of theatre.” 👏👏👏

"The play never asks us to excuse Robert's crime, but explores the terrible ripples it sends through another life.” 👏👏👏

“Campbell is phenomenal. Her emotional journey from practicality and denial towards something increasingly raw and devastating is beautifully controlled” 👏👏👏

Only two more opportunities to see 🍎Apples in Winter🍎

Miriam is the role of a lifetime - thank you for the gift of your exquisite script, Jennifer Fawcett_Author

Huge congratulations to LynchPin Theatre Company Ltd as they wrap up an amazing run of Apples in Winter at the Edinburgh Fringe. I was lucky to see this production in London a few years ago and was so impressed. It’s truly a gift to see your words brought to life like this.
